Progress of China WTC 3B by July 12th

China World Trade Center 3B is a building currently under construction in Beijing Central Business District area, the tower has topped out and stands 316 m tall, a little bit shorter than WTC 3A Tower, the nuance is not easy to be discovered, from some angle the tower appears as tall as the 3A tower because of being located right by the side of the Ring Road.

China World Trade Center 3A and 3B Towers

Although the tower had topped out for many months, the cladding is still being installed, the cladding has grow remarkably since May, take a look at the pictures below:

The upper one was taken on July 12th and the photo under it was taken on May 1st, if you noticed that square ring which is tangled around the top part of the tower, then you might wondering why the gap between it and cladding is not narrowing, don't be confused, that square ring can not be seen as a reference object since it can be pulled up occasionally, precisely it is another one that newly installed and the old one we saw in May was removed after the new one installed. Such rings can be found on many skyscrapers under construction in Beijing like China Zun, they are called catwalks that used for construction purpose, when the building grows, it rises too.

It may take another 2 or 3 months for the cladding to reach the peak, let's wait to see the completion of the building comes, once the tower fully completed it will definitely become a great addition to the city's skyline.
